Absarokee, MT population, income and ZIP codes

Absarokee CDP is a very small community in Montana, with 998 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #96 of 497 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 47 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Absarokee CDP earn a median of $57,212 a year, 27.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 9% below the $62,992 median for the 94 Montana cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 11.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Absarokee CDP is valued at $258,100, 14.9% below the national figure and 3% above the $250,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $943 a month, 32.9% below the national figure, or roughly $11,316 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 78% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 998 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Absarokee CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
